About Sooz

Susan Dennard has come a long way from small-town Georgia. As a marine biologist, she got to travel the world—six out of seven continents, to be exact (she’ll get to Asia one of these days!)—before she settled down as a full-time novelist and writing instructor. She lives in the Midwestern US with her French husband and Irish setter, and you can learn more about her crazy thoughts and crippling cookie-addiction on her blog, newsletter, Twitter, Facebook, or Pinterest. Her Something Strange and Deadly series is now available from HarperTeen, and The Witchlands series will launch from Tor in January 2016.

I’m glad I survived so I can read Scarlet. I neeeeeed it! I also need Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger and Siege and Storm… As soon as humanly possible. It’s so hard to just pick a couple, because there are so many that sound like they are going to be fantastic! 2013 is going to be a great year for books!

I’m EAGERLY anticipating TAKEN (been waiting for almost a year since PubCrawl launched!!!), A DARKNESS STRANGE & LOVELY, SIEGE AND STORM AND….. dun dun dun, the untitled conclusion to the Divergent series. 😀

If I had to pick… BLOOD OF DRAGONS by Robin Hobb, A DARKNESS STRANGE AND LOVELY by Susan Dennard, SIEGE AND STORM by Leigh Bardugo, ORIGIN by Jennifer L. Armentrout (I still feel like sobbing every time I think about Opal’s ending), Divergent 3 by Veronica Roth and RACING SAVANNAH by Miranda Kenneally.

So, that wasn’t a short list. And there are many, many more, plus a lot of books that have already been published but I’m dying to read. 2013 is going to be a good reading year!

Oh my gosh, you just mentioned Robin Hobb and BLOOD OF DRAGONS. That means we are officially friends. 😉 Also, thank you so much for mentioning my own book!! Something about seeing my title next to Robin Hobb made my heart pound in a happy, HAPPY way!! 😀

Robin Hobb is just… EPIC! (And I am going to leave it at that, or I will go into full fangirl mode.) And your book deserves it. SS&D was so awesome and that ending… Not many authors do something like that, and it made me love SS&D even more.

Of course, I don’t know if I likeyou. I mean, you write something awesome, and then you make me wait a whole year for a sequel! You must be a very, very cruel person. (Kidding, you are amazing.)

Yeah, I might have gushed over the Fool and Malta on Twitter (on multiple occasions even, I really don’t have any self-control). The Fool is just an amazing character, but Malta… When I first read the Liveship Traders Trilogy (when I was 14, I think) I thought she was a bitch. And at the end of the trilogy, she was my favorite character. (Which reminds me, I’m still suuuuuuper jealous you got to go to dinner with Robin Hobb.) I don’t really remember Brashen very well though, was he the guy who was with Althea? It’s been too long, I really need to reread these books.

And yes, I know, unfortunately. But it sucks even more, because it takes at least two weeks for a book to get here after the release date, and I know I’ll want a physical copy (’cause nothing beats a real book). And I won’t have school, so I’ll be going crazy. And I might have to hide it from my mom, since I “read too much”, as if that’s possible?!

Quintana of Charyn!!! Dying for this book. Clockwork Princess, Book 2 of the Raven Cycle, Siege and Storm, Grave Mercy 2, Requiem, Book 3 of Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy, and Isla and the Happily Ever After. Gaaah, so many gooood books coming out! I want ALL THE BOOKS! (of course, all the pubcrawl’s lovely sequels goes without saying.)

There are SO MANY coming out just in the next few months I can’t wait for. The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson, Just One Day by Gayle Forman, Shades of Earth, Scarlet, Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys.

I anxiously await anything by Melina Marchetta! And I need Splintered in my hands now, and Scarlet, andandand Through the Ever Night, and… there are way too many books that I canNOT wait for in 2013. Yay for the Mayans being wrong! wootwoot

AHHHHH you need to read that series! Finnikin of the Rock and Froi of the Exiles and (when it comes out) Quintana of Charyn. SO. UNBELIEVABLY. AMAZING. Honestly, Marchetta is a brilliant writer! Finnikin and Froi are among my fave books of all time! (And I have a feeling Quintana of Charyn will join the list once I read it!)

I’m super psyched for Scarlett, but as the releases inch closer, I’m going crazy for Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins and Game by Barry Lyga. I realize that my three most anticipated books are ALL over the place.

What a fun post! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s super excited about QUINTANA OF CHARYN! FROI OF THE EXILES was my favorite book last year, and I am dying to read QUINTANA! I’m also super excited about THROUGH THE EVER NIGHT, and SPLINTERED, BOUNDLESS, SIEGE AND STORM, and SHATTER ME. 2013 is going to be a good year. 🙂

I was just drafting a post about this! I’ve read a lot of spring 2013 ARCs the last few months. Most anticipated post apoc / sci fi: IN THE AFTER by Demitria Lunetta. Most anticipated paranormal: TRANSPARENT by Natalie Whipple. Most anticipated contemporary: THE RULES FOR DISAPPEARING by Ashley Elston. Most anticipated MG: RUMP: THE TRUE STORY OF RUMPLESTILTSKIN by Liesl Shurtliff. There’s a lot of others I’ve really been looking forward to reading, too. So many good books coming out this year!

I am most excited for THE MADMAN’S DAUGHTER, IN THE SHADOWS OF BLACKBIRDS, BORN OF ILLUSION, (even though I already have a copy), the third DIVERGENT book, and so many more! Also, Samantha Shannon’s THE BONE SEASON. Yay, for surviving the apocalypse! Thank you for the giveaway!

Absolutely all of them! Every single one of these plus a million others is on my to-read list! It’s only a bit sad that we have to wait so long into 2013 for the sequels to some of these amazing books. Throne of Glass was one of the last I read of 2012. So good!

Most anticipated books…oh, it’s hard to pick. SCARLET is right up there, and so is Ally Carter’s PERFECT SCOUNDRELS. And Lenore Appelhans’ LEVEL 2. And the list could go on and on. So many books, so little time 🙂

I’m Excited I Survived for Rick Riodans Heroes of Olympus Series because I would have Some Serious anger Issues in the After life If I want able to finish it O_0 Also I need to find out How/When The Dresden Files & The Anita Blake Series will end Not Mention Greys Anatomy and Scandal. OMG and I can forget about Iron Man 3 & The Avengers 😀 I can List more reasons but then the Phrase “Don’t Have A Life” will come into Play 😀

I can’t wait to read Gayle Forman’s JUST ONE DAY, which comes out in just one day! 😉 I’m also super excited about ISLA AND THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER by Stephanie Perkins, MIND GAMES by Kiersten White, and soooo many more. This is going to be a great year for reading!

There are many books I am looking forward to! Rise by Andrea Cremer, Sarah Maas’s sequal to Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Boundless by Cynthia Hand, Hunting by Andrea Host, Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger, Mind Games by Kierstin White, The Runaway King by Jennifer Nielsen, Inferno by Sherrilyn Kenyon, The Rising by Kelley Armstrong, Of Triton by Anna Banks, Seige and Storm by Leigh Burdago, The House of Hades by Rick Riordan…….. etc the list just keeps going. Splintered too! I’ve read good reviews about it.

Definitely Splintered! My copy is already in the mail and on the way to me ^^ I also can’t wait for the sequel to Something Strange and Deadly, for With All My Soul by Rachel Vincent, Clockwork Princess, Untold, Sweet Peril… there are so many amazing books coming out!
That prize packet is awesome, thanks so much for the chacne to win 🙂

There are certainly quite a few books that I’m looking forward to this year – Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, Asunder by Jodi Meadows, Throne of Glass #2 by Sarah J. Maas, Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins being chief among the ones I remember off the top of my head.

There are so many books I’m excited about this year! LEVEL 2 by Lenore Appelhans, A Darkness Strange and Lovely by you (of course), CREWEL 2 by Gennifer Albin, and of course all the books that are still on my To Read list that already came out. I don’t know what I would have done if the world ended and I never got to read all those books…

I was excited to have time to begin reading the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson after receiving all three books for Christmas! I’m anticipating reading mostly books that came out in 2012 that I wasn’t able to get to yet.

There are so many books on my tbr list that come out this year that I am super excited about that I can’t narrow it down to just one. With that said, all of these books are in queue but I am really looking forward to Seige and Storm by Leigh Bardugo and Rise by Andrea Craemer.

Oh my gosh, there are so many! In addition to the ones listed, I’m definitely looking forward to THE ARCHIVED by Victoria Schwab, DARK TRIUMPH by Robin LaFevers, REBOOT by Amy Tintera, and THE BITTER KINGDOM by Rae Carson.

SO MANY BOOKS!!!! Besides the Pub Crawl ladies books (eeeep, soon and not soon enough!), I am looking forward to Isla and the Happily Ever After (!!!), The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, Boundless by Cynthia Hand, Perfect Scoundrels by Ally Carter, The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness, ETC ETC.

I’m looking forward to Prodigy by Marie Lu, Storm and Siege by Leigh Bardugo, Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, A Darkness Strange and Lovely by Susan Dennard, Crewel World #2 by Gennifer Albin, A Nightmare Affair by Mindee Arnett, Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare, the third book in the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth and any book by Sarah Rees Brennan….. Ok I’m done now…. I think 🙂

I am SO glad I survived the ‘apocalypse’ because that meant I have lots of time to read ALL the books I’ve been dying to read, including the books on your list and the giveaway. I think most of all, I survived because I’m gonna be the winner in this giveaway. ;D

Welcome back, ladies! I missed getting PC updates over the break! I’m definitely glad we survived the apocalypse (especially after the ridiculously vivid and TERRIFYING dream I had the night before the 21st in which we did NOT survive. *shudders*) And I am most definitely excited for some books in 2013!!!! Obviously I’m excited for all the PC books that are going to come out this year. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we’re going to get Stephanie Perkins Isla and the Happily Ever After! (Still obsessed with St. Claire, but who isn’t?) I’m extremely excited for Gayle Forman’s new book that comes out today (yay!). Though I’m not going to buy it until I finish this draft of my manuscript because honestly, a little motivation is always better. 😉

I’m really really looking forward to Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare, A Darkness Strange and Lovely (!!) and the conclusion to Divergent. Some of the mine most anticipated books this year I’ve already read as ARCs =)

Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo! <33 and, of course, Clockwork Princess.. even though I don't want it. It will be too much heartbreak. Sobs. Anyway. Dying for Siege and Storm 😀 MAL!! He's just perfect. Sigh. Shadow and Bone was PERFECT 🙂 I'm hoping this giveaway is international, so I'm entering, you can just delete me if it isn't 🙂 (Although, I wouldn't mind helping with shipping to Norway <3) Anyway. Thank you so much for this perfect giveaway 😀 It is PERFECT. Sigh. <3 You guys are amazing. 🙂
Love, Carina

These all look amazing, but I think I’m most excited about the second book in the Penryn and the End of Days series that’s supposed to be coming out later this year. Under the Never Sky is the next one on my list. 🙂

It is so difficult to choose! There are so many books that are coming out that look so good! All of the books mentioned here sound good. I am excited to read Proxy. I think I am the most excited about A Darkness Strange and Deadly! I can’t wait. I will get it the day it comes out!!! I am also excited to read Prodigy. It looks very interesting. I am just so glad 2013 came so we can read all of these books!!!!

There are SO many awesome books coming out in 2013! I am really glad I survived the apocalypse for Taken by Erin Bowman – words cannot express how excited I am for that book 🙂 Also the Jennifer Echols’s books that are coming out this year look pretty epic so surviving is awesome for that too and Awaken by Meg Cabot, because I need to know how the trilogy is going to end.

The books I’m most anticipating this year? Definitely UNRAVEL ME by Tahereh Mafi, and SCARLET by Marissa Meyer. Though I’m sure there are plenty of others if I stop and think about it. DIVERGENT #3, if it comes out this year… 🙂 Great set of books to giveaway, btw. 🙂

OMG let’s see. Hmm, Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi, The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead, Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi, Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare, Requiem by Lauren Oliver, Goddess by Josephine Angelini and Divergent 3 by Veronica Roth. There’s probably a few more but those are the ones that popped into my head immediately !
Thanks for the giveaway (:

Can I just say I’m looking forward to all of them? 😉 I’m really excited for SCARLET because CINDER is one of my favorite books. I can’t wait wait for THROUGH THE EVER NIGHT, so much so, that I pre-ordered a copy through Veronica Rossi’s local indie so I could get it signed! *nerd alert!* Oh gosh, CLOCKWORK PRINCESS, SHADES OF EARTH, VORTEX, PAPER VALENTINE, ASUNDER, PRODIGY, SIEGE AND STORM and the list goes on and on. Is it too early to say I’m extra, super, outrageously anticipating A DARKNESS STRANGE AND LOVELY? July- you’re so far away…

Oh man, there are SO MANY awesome books coming out this year. Some of the ones I’ve been dying for are Scarlet (Marissa Meyer), Splintered, Unravel Me, Through the Ever Night, A Darkness Strange and Lovely, Shadowlark… I could go on. 😀

I’m dying to read Just One Day by Gayle Forman, Taken by Erin Bowman, Splintered by A.G. Howard, The Elite by Kiera Cass, This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith, and Invisibility by Andrea Cremer and David Levithan. 🙂

I am excited about SS&D’s sequel and Throne of Glass #2. If the world ended before those stories continued, I would have been as upset as Hermione was when the final exams were cancelled in Chamber of Secrets.

I’m a frequent shy lurker on Publishing Crawl and your site, Susan, but I felt courageous enough to weasel out of my shell for the day because of the glorious promise of new books to read and the giveaway! The 2013 book I’m glad I survived the apocalypse for is The Diviners by Libba Bray.

I’m BEYOND excited for Ruta Septeys’ book Out of the Easy. Her first book, Between Shades of Gray, is one of my all time favourites, and I just cannot stand the wait for Out of the Easy! Thanks for the giveaway!

I am glad we survived not only for the new books that haven’t come out but also for the old releases I have had a chance to read.
If we are talking new releases:
– Asunder by Jodi Meadows
– Unravel Me by Tahere Mafi
– Everbound by Brodi Ashton
Old releases”
-Anything in the Chicagoland Vampires series I haven’t read
– Anything in the Iron Druid Chronicles that I’ve been to coward t read
– Anything Heather Brewer has written and for one reason or the other I’m not up-to-date with

I have way too many books I’m waiting for! Let’s see if I can pick out a few…
– Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
– Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
– Everbound by Brodi Ashton
– Asunder by Jodi Meadows
– Requiem by Lauren Oliver

Oooh… this is hard! There’re so many books I can’t wait to get my hands on this year. BUT! If I had to narrow it down to three, I’d choose: “Let The Sky Fall” by Shannon Messenger, “Prodigy” by your very own Marie Lu, and “Clockwork Princess” by Cassandra Clare. 🙂

I’m glad I survived so I can read: Scarlet, Siege and Storm, The Madman’s Daughter, and Perfect Scoundrels. I’ve never heard of a lot of the books above, so I’m also glad I survived to hear about them and pick some up at the library, haha.

There are SO many that I’m looking forward to. I just ordered The Archived, Under the Never Sky, and Prodigy, so you know I’m excited about those. Splintered is fabulous so I’m looking forward to having a paper copy. I guess the ones I’m probably most excited for are Scarlet and Siege and Storm, plus Shadows now that I know about it. I LOVE Robin McKinley!

I’m glad I survived to see the last installment of the Spy Girls Series, by Ally Carter. I started reading it back nearly six years ago and it would have been a shame if right when the last one were to come out the world would have ended 😛
